The Walt Disney World bus service is an easy, hassle free, and reliable way to get around Walt Disney World. The best part, of course,-- It's free! If you'd like to learn how to ride it, this article can explain.

Steps

1

Determine where in the Disney Parks system you want to go. Although Both Disney parks (Florida and California) contain many parks, Walt Disney World is sprawled out over several miles.

2

Make sure you can get to your destination from your current location using a bus. Most of the theme parks can be arrived at by the Disney shuttles. Not all locations have Disney Express shuttle stops. Sometimes you will need another mode of free transportation -- a boat or monorail -- where the shuttle can become your "main contact point".

3

Proceed to the bus stop at your current resort park attraction.

4

Search for the stop at your next destination or attraction. At the park, there are big boards that show designated bus stops. In some of the resort locations there is just one stop for everything.

5

Wait patiently for your bus. Busses arrive and depart about every twenty minutes. So, be patient. Wait times after the parks close can be slightly longer although Disney does send more busses out.

6

Stand behind the yellow line until the doors open and everyone has debunked. Take small children by the hand, watch your head, and step aboard.

7

Find and take a seat. Allow elderly people or those traveling in wheelchairs to board first and to let them pick a better location for their seat (most often near or with) their family. You may stand, as long as you don't lean on the shuttle doors, stay behind any yellow lines, and hold a handrail or strap.

8

Sit back and relax.

9

Wait until the doors have opened upon arrival, then stand up. While waiting for the bus to come to a complete stop, gather your belongings.

10

Exit the bus, once the bus has arrived at it's destination. Take small children by the hand, watch your head (and step) as you exit.

Tips

Busses usually run one hour before the attraction opens, and one hour after it closes.

Be polite to all people you encounter, as being polite will make everything you and others do, seem more magical.

There should be brochures available at most hotel front desks that show all of Walt Disney World's transportation routes and services.

If you are going from one resort to another, take the Downtown Disney bus and use the transfer point there.

Warnings

No luggage or alcohol of any type is permitted on Walt Disney World resort busses.

All strollers must be folded and stowed out of the walking aisle on the bus. Medical strollers for Guests with disabilities will be treated as wheelchairs. (This means that you have to go through a long process of getting strapped into the bus, so respect it for those who need it, but otherwise save everyone the time.)
